1 Јер за такву порезу која се купи светима није ми потребно писати вам; 2 јер познајем вашу добру вољу, за коју се о вама хвалим Македонцима да се Ахаја припреми од прошле године, и ваша ревност раздражи многе. 3 А браћу послах да се хвала наша вама не испразни у овој ствари, него да будете приготовљени, као што сам говорио; 4 да се, ако дођу са мном Македонци и међу вас неприготовљене, не осрамотимо ми (да не кажем ви) у тој хвали. 5 Тако нађох да је потребно умолити браћу да напред иду к вама, и да приправе овај напред обречени ваш благослов, да буде готов тако као благослов, а не као лакомство. 6 Ово пак велим: који с тврђом сеје, с тврђом ће и пожњети; а који благослов сеје, благослов ће и пожњети. 7 Сваки по вољи свог срца, а не са жалошћу или од невоље; јер Бог љуби оног који драговољно даје. 8 А Бог је кадар учинити да је међу вама изобилна свака благодат, да у свему свагда свако довољство имајући изобилујете за свако добро дело; 9 као што је писано: Просу, даде сиромасима; правда његова остаје вавек. 10 А који даје семе сејачу, даће и хлеб за јело: и умножиће семе ваше, и даће да узрасту жита правде ваше; 11 да се у свему обогатите за сваку простоту која кроз нас чини хвалу Богу. 12 Јер служба ове порезе не испуњује само недостатак светих, него чини те се и многе хвале дају Богу, 13 огледом порезе ове хвалећи Бога за ваше покорно признање јеванђеља Христовог, и за простоту поделе к њима и к свима, 14 и да се моле Богу за вас и да чезну за вама за премногу благодат Божју на вама. 15 А хвала Богу на Његовом неисказаном дару.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Though he had said so much about it, he says here, "It is superfluous for me to write to you." And his wisdom is shown not only in this, that though he had said so much about it, he saith, "it is superfluous for me to write to you," but in that he yet again speaketh of it.

Because then also, when things were desperate, there was a sort of deliverance and reformation; but then by punishment, now, on the contrary, by grace and an unspeakable gift. Therefore the dove also appears, not bearing an olive branch, but pointing out to us our Deliverer from all evils, and suggesting the gracious hopes.

Then, as to what He says, "From him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away," it is to be referred to the mind; for God loveth a cheerful giver. Moreover, every one who accepts anything borrows, even if he himself is not going to pay it; for inasmuch as God pays back more to the merciful, whosoever does …

"That, always having all sufficiency, we may abound unto every good work." See how they fulfill that word of the gospel which saith, "Give us this day our daily bread," and how they seek even this for spiritual ends.
